#5: Avocados May Prevent Metabolic Syndrome

Consumed more vegetables, which increased their intake of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.

Had a lower intake of added sugars.

Ate a better diet overall.

Eating avocados was enough for study participants to reduce their weight, waist circumference, and BMI, all of which helped lower their risks for metabolic syndrome.

Now it’s easy to see why you should make avocados a staple in your keto diet.

But if you’re wondering how to do that beyond adding avocado slices to your favorite low-carb dishes, you can use these 40 keto recipes for inspiration.

One of the easiest ways to sneak in more avocados, especially if you don’t care for their taste, is by mixing them into low-carb smoothies.

7 Satisfying and Delicious Keto Avocado Smoothies

Similar to spinach, you can add avocado to a smoothie without ruining the taste or flavor of the original recipe.

However, unlike spinach, avocados do alter the texture of smoothies — in a good way.

Instead of having a watery smoothie that’s more like a chunky juice, you’ll have a thicker drink that resembles a milkshake in consistency. That’s why these revamped keto smoothies are so creamy, delicious, and crave-worthy.

#2: Bacon Wrapped Egg Stuffed Avocado

While it does require a bit more work than the first recipe in this category, it only looks complicated and takes just 10 minutes to put together.

However, you will need about 40 minutes of cook time after that to finish it off. This recipe may not be on your weekday breakfast meal plan, but it could still work on the weekends or if you’re entertaining friends for brunch.

The next stuffed keto avocado recipes are great for lunch or dinner.

#3: Lemon Chicken Avocado Boats

For a delicious, light, and satisfying lunch, try these lemon chicken avocado boats that won’t weigh you down or make you feel like you need a nap afterward.

With fresh ingredients, clean protein, and healthy fats, this dish is energizing on top of being satiating. And it’s also quick to make and easy to pack.

The next stuffed avocado recipe uses chicken, but the flavor profile definitely has more of a kick.

Enjoy this as an appetizer or in place of a side salad and you’ll have a nice dose of fiber per serving size (or half an avocado).

The next two keto avocado recipes have a southwestern flair.

#9: Stuffed Avocado Taco Bowls

Similar to bruschetta, you have the option of making low-carb tortillas if you’re really craving tacos on keto.

But avocados are way easier than making homemade keto taco shells if you’re short on time.

Take these avocado taco bowls, which you can assembled and cook in just 15 minutes. Prep them for a quick dinner after a long day, or pack them up as leftovers the next day.

If you plan to do the latter, keep your avocados whole until you’re ready for lunch and your toppings in a separate container. By the time you’re ready to eat your avocado, it won’t be one big brown mess.

The next recipe is just as easy thanks to its limited ingredient list.

Other than the bright green color, these deviled eggs taste exactly like the recipes you’re used to — if not better.

The low-carb swaps just make them higher in healthy keto-friendly fats. And that makes them an ideal afternoon fat bomb when you need a quick snack.

While these may be a little too time-consuming for you to make when you’re hungry, this next recipe offers similar flavors and doesn’t take quite as long to prepare.

#3: Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich

Rather than going through all the steps to make deviled eggs from scratch, you can achieve a similar flavor combination with less effort by going with this spicy avocado egg salad sandwich.

This recipe is also a lifesaver when your cooked eggs don’t separate cleanly from their shells when you’re trying to make deviled eggs. Instead of throwing the batch of rough eggs away, chop them up to make this egg salad.

As you can see in the image above, the recipe saves calories and adds vitamins and minerals by going with a red bell pepper as the “sandwich” instead of bread. You could also use romaine leaves or lettuce cups.

Make a batch of avocado egg salad for lunch and pair it with the next recipe for a low-carb soup and sandwich combo.

The next recipe may also do that since it’s definitely an attention-grabber.

#12: Avocado Milk

Before you brush off avocado milk because it’s a weird green color, you should know this high-fat milk is dairy-, coconut-, and nut-free, making it ideal for people and families with food sensitivities.

And after you try this keto version, you’ll wonder why it took so long to realize it even existed.

This creamy avocado drink resembles a Shamrock Shake in color but is far better nutrition-wise.

Plus, it only requires five ingredients — avocados, water, gelatin, stevia, and vanilla (optional). And it stays the same shade of bright green for a few days, according to the recipe creator.

Since you can’t taste the avocado, this faux milk makes a wonderful option for picky kids and adults looking to eat more avocados even if they’re not crazy about them.

Another hack for adding more avocados to your diet is hiding them in desserts.

7 Delicious Low-Carb Dessert Recipes Starring Avocado

Before you shake your head at the idea of adding avocados to your beloved keto dessert recipes, you should know doing so doesn’t affect the taste.

Avocados serve as a neutral base to add creamy texture and a dose of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins, and minerals.

Score all the incredible health benefits that come with eating avocados, but none of the avocado taste.

Go ahead and try any of these recipes to see for yourself:

#1: Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Keto Brownies

If rich, fudgy brownies are what you’re craving on keto, give this brownie recipe a go. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how the avocado helps to create the perfect gooey texture you’re after.

And if you don’t have the ingredients to make this recipe, or you’d prefer another option, this avocado brownie recipe is slightly different and just as delicious.

The next keto avocado recipe is from the same recipe creator as the first brownie on this list.

#2: Silky Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Avocados can also be used to make a chocolate mousse that’s low-carb and as light and airy as more traditional versions loaded with sugar.

Despite being sugar-free, both the flavor and texture are right on point, if not better.

Each serving only clocks in at 219 calories, 20g of protein, 5g of carbs, and 3g of protein, which means you can easily weave it into your macros without sabotaging ketosis.

If mousse is too light and you want something a little more substantial and indulgent, check out this next keto avocado recipe.

Aside from that, you’ll just need one large egg, baking powder, stevia-sweetened chocolate chips, and a dash of pink salt, which means you may already have what you need to make these low-carb cookies.

If you have enough shredded coconut left over, you may be able to tackle this next recipe too.
